Overpriced but the location was unbeatable. I came here for drinks, so I cannot evaluate the food offerings. I ordered a pimms and lemonade because I was feeling nostalgic from study abroad and they got it wrong, but tbf so do most places. I would definitely come back for dinner if I had a friend visiting NY for the first time. read more

Fantastic view, It's in a fabulous location for sure. But the price is too expensive comparing to the quality of the food. I will give 4 stars just because of the location! read more

Had a great time in Vegas. One of the highlights was this restaurant. Great service and excellent meal.

This location is super cool, you sit on a balcony at grand central and look out. The food was ok, and the menu was super limited. I had a work lunch here and it was somewhat difficult to find (it's across the terminal from the apple store. read more

Cipriani - Meringue came - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Similar menu to what is offered at their Wynns Resort location, but somehow the food at Grand Central tastes fresher. It is a different kind of ambiance inside the iconic train station, busy foot traffic, noises, voices, PA systems, flashing schedules ... etc; and from our vantage point we could take in what a New York commuter life is like. It may be close to the shift change for our service as he was lack of energy and inattentive. On the other hand, the hostess was pulling double duty to help out. We will repeat next time when we are in the area. Enjoy ... read more

I bought tickets for NYE at $260 per ticket for my wife and I to reserve a table. Open bar came with this. Lowlights are as follows: Arrived at 9pm to wait on extraordinarily long line Open bar was poor selection of sub standard alcohol The venue was remarkably overcrowded The bouncers were salivating to get into a fight and exercise their limited authority (typical of most places) The service was substandard The venue looked like a FEMA qualified disaster area by 10pm Bathroom attendants were there to hand me paper towels and depress a soap dispenser for tips (never in the history of bathrooms have any adults ever needed someone to hand them paper towels and depress soap dispensers) Highlights: The venue seems like a very extravagant and beautiful place when not filled with mid 20 year old clown shows Listen, this was nye and I'm sure cipriani is not like this on any other night so this may be an unfairly biased review. But this is the information I've got so that is all I can review it on. If you're a 25 year old who's main source of value in life is to document their day to day on instagram then nye at cipriani is the place for you. If you're a normal adult whom derives value from sources outside of social media then steer far away from this place on NYE. read more

I come here every year for different events. This place is really an elegant and gorgeous venue space. They are very organized and their staff are pros. I always have a fantastic time whenever I come here. The food is pretty good. They offer a nice assortment of appetizers. For dinner its always the same either steak or fish. I like their steaks but to me it's always a hit or miss. Either you get a perfectly cooked steak (for me its rare) or a steak that is too well done and that is so not for me. So now, instead, I order their fish (Chilean sea bass) it is cooked perfectly. Their sides are nothing spectacular just potato and a vegetable. I look forward to coming here again for future events. read more

I don't know what the hype is about this place.

All around excellent service from the host and hostess, Wilson and support staff. Thank you! read more

Went to the location in Grand Central. I asked the waiter if the salmon was wild caught. He said no - farm raised. Thanks for the honest answer. With that, $42 for farm raised salmon? Absolutely unacceptable to charge $42 for any fish but then not to have it at least top of the line is a bit outrageous. I then realized I was in a place that had a seemingly strong reputation but was reducing itself to a place that exploits tourists. I wanted to impress a friend visit from out of town but ended up in a great location with overpriced crap food. Shameful of Cipriani and just a bummer! read more

I witnessed something very disturbing at the Cipriani location in Grand Central this evening. When I sat at the bar at 6:45PM, I noticed a man aggressively hitting on a woman at the bar. Shortly after, I realized that the woman was completely incapacitated. He was asking her where she lived and he could take her home in a very flirtatious way (not a helpful way) and saying that she "owed him" for paying her tab. When I closed out, I wrote a note to the bartender saying I was very worried about the safety of this woman. The bartender said "He's a regular here. He's not going to kill her, but he's going to try to have sex with her." and then he laughed. I was really disturbed by this comment, but I am ashamed to say I didn't know what to do or how to help the drunk woman beyond this. The bartender then took her drink away. The man then got up to go to the bathroom, and before going aggressively kissed her and fondled her. This woman could not sit up right. Another woman at the bar noticed this, and asked me if they knew each other. I said they didn't, but apparently this customer is a regular. The woman tried to get the bartender to help, and he told her the same thing he told me. The woman then told the drunk woman to leave immediately and get in a cab, but the drunk woman could not get out of her seat. The woman then helped her, and other staff got involved to help the drunk woman stand and get her address so that she could be called a cab. The woman actually escorted her to the taxi, and the staff were no help beyond this. When the man came back from the bathroom, he laughed with the bartender about how "you win some, you lose some" and that she was that drunk when she got there, which if that's true, I don't know what she was served at all. I am never going to Cipriani again. The staff clearly prioritize the tips of their male regulars over the safety and well being of women. read more

GooThe food service and ambiance where all excellent The restaurant itself was out of this world

Attended the Legends Ball here on Saturday and I have to say the food was very good. My steak was delicious and perfectly cooked. My sister's meat was overdone and she should have said something. Mine was a perfect medium rare and you didn't need a steak knife. The burrata cheese appetizer was delicious too. The dessert was excellent as well. Service was very good and the venue is beautiful. All around great experience. I'm sure it was pretty pricey but since I didn't pay for it, I'm giving Cipriani's five stars. read more

Cipriani's Grand Central been going there for 10 years however I had the worst experience yesterday. The bartender Charles refused to serve my friend and I he never stated why the manager came over and instructed him Service us as he saw no issue. Charlston the bartender told his manager that he's refusing service to us. I know most of the bartenders and this particular person always gives me a hard time not sure if it's racism homophobia or what exactly. But I definitely would think about it twice he was never service customers with a smile. So if you go for the New York iconic experience please be aware of this server read more

I have been to Cipriani in Venice and London. This is nothing even close. Bad service. We ordered a bottle of wine and never got it.

Gorgeous venue but disappointing food. Came here for a work luncheon and was excited to try the food. Given the well-known restaurant name that exudes elegance and flair, it was very disappointing to taste mediocre food. The hor deurves were ehhh. Pigs in a blanket (could easily be Costco and heated up. Love costco by the way!). Lobster bites were weird. It was warm lobster stuffed into a small, hard and stale tortilla chip. Crab bites were wrapped with cucumber - this was okay but had a slight funny taste to it. On to the main lunch portion. Salad was good. Probably the dish of the three course meal. The entree was a split pea risotto. It tasted more like uncooked rice with three peas. Fish came on top of it. Super salty skin. Fish itself was decent. Onto dessert - really not sure what it was. All I know is that it had loads of cream everywhere and burnt sugar crystals sprinkled on top and on the side. It is like a meringue with soggy cake. The fruit that accompanied the cake was good at least. read more

I was at a wonderful wedding they catered at their event space near Grand Central Terminal. While walking around I discovered their restaurant in the Terminal, but didn't have time to eat there. This trip I did, and the food was terrific. My son and I stopped after touristing all day and even though we looked like bums they treated us like kings! We started with the beef tartar which was outstanding. It melted in our mouths! My son had the tagliolini with pomodoro. The sauce was perfectly balanced. I had the tagliatelle wth lamb ragu , off of the bar menu. My son finished with a lemon tart which was lite and delicious. You can't beat sitting on the balcony of the Terminal watching the world buzz by. read more

Late night, Grand Central Station. A Wed night, luckily they had a table for two overlooking the main area of the station. Ordered the branzino fish, and wow was the super excellent. I should add that the arnold palmer I had was the best I've tasted. The bread offering was excellent, as there are three choices (bread sticks, flat bread, each of which were very good; and then some roll thing that was pretty bad. Wait staff super helpful and patient, which is refreshing for the Time Square / Grand Central area. For sure I would return. read more

I was there for an industry event, it was a prefix dinner with a cocktail opening. I was in charge of some of the event planning so I got there early to set up, the staff at Cipriani were very helpful and professional. I'm not sure what we had on the menu since it was other people who were in charge of ordering food, but we were served a goat cheese and asparagus salad, steak with string beans and roasted potatoes, chocolate lava cake or vanillla sponge cake for dessert as well as wines and cocktails for the opening. The venue is very fancy so make sure to dress your best when you go there. Great for events or large parties. read more

Wowwww! Cipriani is an architecturally stunning, Italian Renaissance inspired venue!!!! The space itself took my breath away. This is THE PLACE for any large event. Upon entering for an award dinner, there were countless staff lined up to collect coats. As I moseyed my way to the bar area, there was an endless supply of hors d'oeuvres. Fortunately, there was no need to chase trays. With lots of bartenders ready to assist, guests were able to get drinks at lightning speed. Let me fast forward to the meal. By the time we sat, salad and bread was already on each of the several hundred plates at the event. The speedy service continued with one server placing risotto directly onto our plates followed by another server topping that with the most massive and beautiful piece of sea bass that I've ever seen in my entire life. The best part was that the food didn't just look nice, but it tasted fantastic. I watched the entire table, including my husband who doesn't ever eat fish, devour their plates. Somehow, we all had room for dessert which was a chocolate shell filled with vanilla, coffee, and chocolate sorbet topped with berries. I'm pretty confident that every single guest in the room was extremely pleased with the meal and service. If you choose to book an event here after reading this review, don't forget to give thanks where thanks is due. Invite me! read more

Cipriani - Shot doesn't do venue justice but only one I got - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Came here for a technology event showcasing a new line of OLEDs. Space is huge. Staff was very polite and they dressed up very classy. The tables on the side of the event space still has pens attached to them. From what I notice, I guess this used to be a bank. I didn't get a chance to walk around downstairs, but I'm pretty sure there's a vault somewhere. The ceilings are so high, but very detailed in architecture and style. This place has one of the highest ceilings I've seen in a building, other than Grand Central Terminal across the street. Bartenders at this venue were very fast, even though everyone was pushing to get their drink on line. The servers who came out with plates on hand to serve mini eats were fearless, because once they come out, a horde of people would rush to them to grab what's left on the plate. Anyone have any company or big partys at this venue? Let me know! I would love to come back. read more

Review is for NYE party held here Came here with a large group and we had a seated table (without bottle service). It was pricey but I'll say overall it was worth it. Staff was very very friendly, lines for the bar were never too long. Crowd was dressed very nicely. You can wear anything from a nice jacket and tie to a tuxedo if it pleases you. (weren't too many people in tux's though). The music was pretty fun (started off lame though) The venue itself is GORGEOUS, very big and spacious. The only thing I will say is initially coming inside the music from the door sounded kinda crazy cause it was bouncing around in too much space. Near the dance floor it sounded fine though. The dance floor did get a bit crammed later but at least everyone was friendly. If you get the seated table you can either be near the dance floor (loud, but near the action) or kinda far away in a corner in another side. Both have their pluses. We ended up being kinda far away which was good when we wanted to talk but it wasnt as lively if you want to hear the music. If you want to be closer to the action i suggest you request that or maybe you have to have a bottle table? not totally sure. Hors d'oeuvres were actually really really good. It's a shame we were so full we didnt get chance to eat much of them. If you have a table they bring out some just for you. Overall I would definitely recommend if you can afford the price tag. It's a fun experience which is not the s%&tshow that some new years eve's parties are. Good mix of lively people but a little more mature. Great way to avoid amateur hour without being so uptight that its dull. read more

I was here for a beautiful wedding. And I ate. A lot. Food: the cocktail hour was so good that I had a bit of everything and nothing seemed unimpressive. From Shrimp Cocktail to pasta to pork and beef, everything was just perfect. I ordered steak for dinner, which was cooked the way I like. The lobster appetizer and scrumptious dessert makes me drool just thinking about it (see photographs I've uploaded). Service: everyone here is trained so well and is extremely attentive. Our table was served quality drinks and there always seemed to be wait staff on standby to take care of us. Decor: Stunningly beautiful. Everything is tastefully done. Nobody's rushing anyone anywhere. read more

The staff did completely a horrible job on managing the event. VIP line was filled with people who bought general admission tickets. They only announced that the line was specifically for VIP once people got closer to the door and guided them to stand on the other long line. No one was smart enough to communicate in advance where to line up. This was non sense. DO NOT buy a VIP ticket if you want to get in faster and not shiver in the cold because they will not treat you like VIPs. read more

Cipriani - Ridiculously long VIP line - Italian Near Me - New York, New York

Two parts to this review... was here for a gala, and the building itself is across from Grand Central. Large entry, with a coat check to the left and a side bar area that was filled with three different long bars, more than enough to handle the 500+ people that came that night along with the bars on the other side. Large space that reminded me of a mini Grand Central (being a former bank) with the design and arched ceiling. Bathrooms off to the corners. Second, the food. Appetizers passed included salmon, tuna tartar, and pigs in a blanket - all good. A mozzarella & prosciutto salad with pear that was good, a Filet Mignon steak that was entirely too dry, and sea bass that was a massive cut that was bigger and thicker than the steak medallion - not bad and better spiced, in my opinion. The potatoes stuffed with veggies were ok. Potato au gratin was only so-so, too. The dessert - a lemon meringue that was only ok. Drinks were strong and the service was pleasant. I suppose it's tough to cook the same thing for 500+ people at once, but I've had better at large events. Overall, an interesting event space. Just watch out for the echo when you're on a microphone inside. read more

Cipriani is a true class act, and I expected nothing less. I attended a business luncheon function this past week and was just so impressed by the overall experience. The enormous space is pristine and beautiful! The moment you walk in, you feel like you have arrived somewhere special. The service was of the highest quality, from the bartenders to the waiters to the management. And the food...amazing! We dined on the freshest mozzarella and tomatoes, Chilean sea bass, and sorbet with fruit in a chocolate bowl. Everything was perfect! read more

Hit this club for NYE celebration. We really had a great fun. Who doesn't? It was NYE with DJ, dance floor, drinks. It is located right across the grand central station. This used to be a bank before but they converted into restaurant/club. Their ceilings are high, huge and nicely decorated. Best part was we didn't had to wait too long to get into the club on NYE. Club was really huge and too spacious. DJ rocked definitely and I think a friend of DJ who is DJ too he played some rocking Indian song... we made my NYE. Cheers. read more

Oh how I love Cirpriani. My alumni association has an event every January here, and it's always well done. They have our school mascot tastefully projected everywhere in the main room. Multiple bars, multiple food stations. The food is great, though I guess it doesn't take much to make carpaccio, proscuitto, grilled asparus, grilled onions. It was all very good food, and there was lots of it. And best of all, they serve white peach bellinis. What can be better than a night eating food and drinking white peach bellinis. I love these things. Though they did start flashing the lights, and trying to get us out as soon as our reserved time ended. Guess they needed to clean up. read more

My friend and I got a bottle of wine at the bar. I was surprised at the wine selection. First, we tasted the Cabernet by the glass, and it was undrinkable, so we went for the bottle of Malbec. Though better than the Cab, it tasted so basic and cheap.... their prices are anything but. Horrible quality. Staff was friendly and polite though. read more

My company rented Cipriani out for our corporate holiday party. We packed it to its gills -- I estimate that there were easily over a thousand people in here. Surprisingly enough, the multiple bars were fully staffed and equipped to handle such large volumes. I did not have to wait long at any one point to get a drink, and they were all well-made and plenty alcoholic in nature. They had buffet-style snacks, and although I very rarely eat anywhere that has a buffet, I had a taste of the grilled arthichokes -- and they did not disappoint. I am sorry to say that I missed out on their penne pasta in red sauce, my favorite dish and a famous dish of theirs, but my friends all assured me that it was delicious. Really, the only reason it loses stars is unfair, because it had nothing to do with the actual venue -- there was a truly awful Beatles cover band playing, and it really ruined the atmosphere. read more

Came here for a wedding and was taken away by the high celings and architecture of this former Bowery Bank. It is truly beautiful and takes you back to a by gone era. The service and food was top notch. The cocktail hour consisted of so many delicacies that it was hard to stop and I wound up eating "strategically". Most memorable was the carpaccio, tuna tartare and other tuna appetizer, the porcini mushroom phylo tarts, the cold calamari/lobster salad. The pastas and risotto were also delicious. Dinner started with a whole cold lobster out of the shell-exquisite. By the time the Chilean Sea Bass came, I was beside myself but enjoyed this perfectly cooked masterpiece anyway. It was an incredible experience from start to finish, and one I will treasure. read more
